In the past I used RMagick and also had Imagemagick, and recently I bundle installed a newer version of RMagick.

When restarting my rails server I got errors. So I decided to uninstall first imagemagick (from brew) and then uninstall rmagick.

I tried re-installing rmagick and I am some trouble (first one being I can't install from the bundle command). I tried gem install rmagick -v '2.13.1' but I get the following permission error:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper

I also tried with the sudo and got 

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper

Surely I have done something wrong along the way, but I am not sure what?

Thank you for you answers.

  • I guess the rmagick doesnot support the latest imagemagick AFAIK last test on my machine the Rmagick was working successfully with imagemagick version 6.7.0 – Viren Jan 16 '13 at 10:10
  • Maybe it's just missing some path like described [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9050419/cant-install-rmagick-2-13-1-cant-find-magickwand-h) – thorsten müller Jan 16 '13 at 10:14
  • This looks like you don't have permission to access the right directories. Did you install imagemagick as root or something? Maybe you can try `gem pristine rmagick` - that solved an issue for me where RMagick was built against the wrong version of imagemagick after an upgrade - but in your case I'd bet on imagemagick being installed by root. – Tigraine Jan 16 '13 at 10:42
  • Sorry Tigraine, what is root? – Zedrian Jan 16 '13 at 11:24
  • I had to update brew, and then re-installed imagemagick. Apparently there is a problem between the new imagemagick from homebrew and RMagick. I tried the `gem pristine rmagick` but I don't have rmagick installed anymore so it doesn't work. I also tried [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13963404/rails-and-os-x-how-to-install-rmagick/13963950#13963950) but I get the same permission error when trying to install RMagick – Zedrian Jan 16 '13 at 11:47
  • I am not sure why it suddenly start working, but after following these steps [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13963404/rails-and-os-x-how-to-install-rmagick/13963950#13963950), then went to my rails project and instead ran the `sudo gem install rmagick`. Now I got it to work! – Zedrian Jan 16 '13 at 12:18

It seems the latest version of ImageMagick is not compatible with RMagick. I solved the issue by following this:
